[PATCH] accel/ivpu: fix usage_count leak when autosuspend_delay is negative

[Guangshuo Li]

ivpu_pm_init() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but the autosuspend
setting is not disabled when the device is removed or when
initialization fails after runtime PM setup.

When the autosuspend delay is negative, the runtime PM core increments
usage_count to prevent runtime suspend. Without a matching
pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend(), this reference is not dropped and
usage_count remains unbalanced.

Call pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() from ivpu_pm_disable() to clean
up the autosuspend state during normal device teardown. Also undo the
autosuspend setting when ivpu_boot() fails after ivpu_pm_init().

This issue was found by manual code inspection.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Background work items scheduled by IRQ handlers are not flushed or canceled on the probe error path, leading to a Use-After-Free when devres frees the device.

accel/ivpu: fix usage_count leak when autosuspend_delay is negative

ivpu_pm_init() calls pm_runtime_use_autosuspend(), but the autosuspend
setting is not disabled when the device is removed or when initialization
fails. This patch adds pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() to ivpu_pm_disable()
and the ivpu_dev_init() error path to prevent a usage_count leak.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but since we are modifying the error paths
here, I noticed that background work items scheduled by IRQ handlers might
not be flushed or canceled on the probe error path.

If a hardware interrupt occurs during ivpu_boot() after enable_irq() is called,
the handler may queue irq_dct_work or context_abort_work. If a subsequent
initialization step like ivpu_pm_dct_init() fails, the error path disables
interrupts but skips flushing the queued works:

ivpu_boot() {
        ...
        enable_irq(vdev->irq);
        ...
        ret = ivpu_pm_dct_init(vdev);
        if (ret)
                goto err_disable_ipc;
        ...
err_disable_ipc:
        ivpu_ipc_disable(vdev);
        ivpu_hw_irq_disable(vdev);
        disable_irq(vdev->irq);
        ...
}

The error is then returned to ivpu_dev_init(), which jumps to err_pm_fini
where this new cleanup code is placed.

Could this lead to a memory corruption scenario? Without cancel_work_sync()
or flush_work() to halt pending tasks, devres might free the ivpu_device
structure when probe fails. Any pending work items might later execute and
dereference the freed pointer.

Hello,

Thanks for the submission.

This leaves err_ipc_fini label unused, could you please remove that 
label below and keep both pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend(vdev->drm.dev) 
and ivpu_ipc_fini(vdev) under err_pm_fini.

Otherwise compiler will complain about unused label.

Remove err_ipc_fini here.

Once that gets fixed:
